According to the Economic Policy Institute (EPI), average retirement savings for families between 56 and 61 is $163,577. That is nowhere close to how much they would actually need to be able to retire and meet their expenses for another 25-30 years. The first step to meeting your retirement goal is to have a basic understanding of how retirement planning works and what are the different components of investing. You don’t have to become a financial analyst but you at least have to understand what your advisor is saying. Knowledge is power; the more you know the better decisions you can make. “Stay on Target” will give you a broad understanding of retirement planning and investments.
